The Poor Man Turns Out to be a President

37I Love You

Verko had already returned to the store while carrying a plastic bag containing drinks. He bought to avoid Zulfa's suspicion of meeting Maira. One was given to Aida and the other to Zulfa. Verko bought three drinks. Zulfa did not refuse, only his attitude was indifferent.

"Zulfa.." call Verko. Zulfa looked over with a lazy fist.

"What's wrong, brother?" ask Zulfa.

"I'll take you out, won't I? Just shut up, not for long. There's something I want to say to you, it's important" Verko said, and Zulfa seemed to think for a moment.

"All right..." Zulfa did not refuse because Verko said something important. Zulfa was curious as important as what Verko would say. Then Zulfa just left, making Verko sad. But on the other hand he was also happy because Zulfa wanted to be invited out.

Just when they're home. Verko takes Zulfa on his bike around the bustle of the city. Tonight is a beautiful and fun-filled night for Verko. Verko continued to smile behind the helmet she was wearing without Zulfa realizing it.

Until the motor driven by Verko to the front of the park. Zulfa doesn't talk much, he just follows. Verko invited him to sit on an empty bench not far from where they parked the motorbike.

"Just get to the point, brother, I'm badass. It's also already malemic" Zulfa said without looking at Verko. His gaze came forward.

Verko let out a long sigh looking at Zulfa's extremely indifferent attitude. "That attitude reminds me of someone. He's also cuckoo like you and......."

"Can not just go straight to the point does not need a stale base, I have said that earlier. Can't you hear!!" sahut Zulfa with a slightly firm tone.

Verko who heard Zulfa's words immediately fell silent. His intentions did not directly speak to his intentions. But seeing an angry Zulfa, Verko finally got to the point. I doubt if Zulfa likes it. Seeing from Zulfa's attitude that strongly showed dislike. A few seconds of silence. What was the guts of Verko sure, now even shriveled because of the clash of Zulfa earlier.

"If there's nothing to talk about anymore, I want to go home. Nyesel I came here" said Zulfa then stood up to leave Verko who was still silent.

Verko quickly restrained Zulfa's hand from leaving. "Don't go Fa, I'm taking you here to tell you what I've been feeling. As you feel in your heart." Zulfa fell silent digesting Verko's words just now.

"What do you mean?" tanya Zulfa looked towards Verko full of question marks.

"I love you Zulfa, forgive me for being able to express this and not being aware of how you feel about me" Verko said, prompting Zulfa to round her eyes in surprise.

Zulfa fell silent because of his shock. Until Verko says again. "Actually I already liked you before Rey expressed her feelings as well. But I'm always less willing to reveal it directly to you. I'm aware of myself Fa, there are still many men who would want to be with you like Rey. He's rich, handsome, kind and he sure loves you a lot" Verko said.

Zulfa who had been ignorant immediately burst out hearing the expression from Verko. He felt guilty for staying away from Verko all this time. She should have understood about Verko's feelings for her as well. From the look of Verko's eyes already showed that he was serious with his words. Zulfa sighed at the tears that were about to drip so as not to be touched by Verko.

"I'm sorry brother. I didn't know you had the same feelings as me. I thought all this time you were just giving me hope. The fact that I always stay away from you, I don't want to be a barrier between my sister and the girl who was restauranted the other day" said Zulfa, making Verko frown, he thought about what Zulfa just meant.

"Which restaurant do you mean Fa?" verko asked looking confused.

"A restaurant not far from Abhimarta's company is across the street" Zulfa said.

Verko recalled the last time she was there with whom. Why would Zulfa say a woman. He must have been with the woman in question, eh Zulfa. And then Verko remembered something.

In the end Zulfa knew who the woman in the restaurant was with Verko the other day. He thinks that Delli is Verko's girlfriend, but the prejudice is wrong. Zulfa was ashamed of himself because he was prejudiced.

"That's it, I think your boyfriend" Zulfa said.

"Look off. Now you know who is in my heart. And I also know that what's in your heart is just me. Aren't we?"

"Huh? So you know that I......"

"You know, I'm sorry I just realized that" said Verko smiling at Zulfa.

"No pa-pa brother, I'm glad that my love can be reciprocated as well. Sorry for my attitude so far that often hurt your heart" said Zulfa deeply regretted his actions that could have hurt Verko's feelings. Moreover, he had said in a high tone.

"I've missed it, I don't mind it. You don't want to marry me" Zulfa was immediately shocked to hear Verko wanted to make her his wife. Zulfa thinks that far and doesn't go there either. Zulfa thought Verko would ask her to be his girlfriend. It turns out that Zulfa's guess was wrong.

"Married?." replied Zulfa surprised.

"Yes, Zulfa was honest. I actually don't like going out with that. My principle is that if it is suitable for each other and love why wait a long time with an uncertain relationship. I'm looking for a wife not a boyfriend, I know that you must be surprised by what I said. I hope you're ready without dating, because I don't like it. Later the edges are just a relationship without clarity" hearing Verko's words at length makes Zulfa touched. Verko's principle with him is the same, not willing to buy time with unclear relationships.

"I want a sister, I want to marry you" Verko's happy not to play around to hear Zulfa want to marry her.

"Are you serious?" verko's eyes were very bright to hear Zulfa's reply.

"Yes, but....Will you wait for me to finish the thesis. Because I went to college with a scholarship and the conditions were not to get married until graduation. Just a little more, about a month. How's it?" Zulfa said what it was because that was the condition of the campus.

"Well, I'll wait for you to graduate. Not too long either, so when can I go to your house to ask for your blessing?" ask Verko.

"Tomorrow if you're not busy. Let me tell you later if you want to come home. Hows it? The day after tomorrow I have not come home either. Tonight I'm being kept in a dormitory"

"Yes the day after I went to your house. Thanks again for accepting me for who I am, I rarely meet women like you. For all this time I have only encountered evil people, looking with treasure and appearance"

"Together, I don't even like people who always show off their wealth. They're people who are crazy treasures. Without looking down"

"Yes you're right. Uh it's the night I drive you home" said Verko.

"Yes come" they decided to go home because the day was getting late. Tomorrow Zulfa must return to his activities and prepare to tell his father.

The answer from his father greatly made Zulfa a heart gymnast. Devon fears not to accept Verko later and instead asks Zulfa to stay away from him. Zulfa couldn't have imagined that all this would happen. He's thinking positively now. He could pray that his father would accept Verko.
